I was not speaking of today, but wondering in general if Savannah was
still the place to go for bugs and patches. As I understand your answer
is yes. I must have been misinformed.

There's the large syntax patch
(https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=1628). The
original submitted patch didn't work (some problems with pointers or
range checks IIRC), but was fixed by Jakub Jelinek from Red Hat and is
now part of RHs mc. See also
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=112644 .

In relation to this, I also submitted a more complete php syntax file
(https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?func=detailitem&item_id=2422 &
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=112645), which is
now also part of RHs mc. Attached to both bug reports you can find a
script that generates a list of php functions from the docs at
http://www.php.net, on which this syntax file is based.

Since these two patches have a had a few months of testing by Fedora
users I would think they are safe to be merged with CVS.

If you do accept them you can also close
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=6978 . As I was
not used to the concept of separate submission of bugs and patches I
submitted the syntax file as a bug before submitting it as a patch.

In this case also
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=3829 can be
closed.

Another issue is
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=4271 . That's an
easy fix.

Leonard.
